I strongly dislike the “further reading” sections of the forum wiki/forum tags.
They imply that the right way to know more about things is to read a load of articles. It seems clear to me that instead we should sythesise these points and then link them where relevant. Then if you wanted more context you could read the links.
The ‘Further reading’ sections are a time-cheap way of helping readers learn more about a topic, given our limited capacity to write extended entries on those topics.
